DESCRIPTION:

The Rohde & Schwarz MXO58-2000 is the highest-performance model within the MXO 5 Series, combining eight analogue channels and 2 GHz bandwidth in a next-generation oscilloscope architecture. The platform is designed for engineers who require simultaneous visibility across numerous high-speed signals while maintaining exceptional acquisition performance, measurement precision, and debugging capability.

At the heart of the MXO58-2000 is Rohde & Schwarz's advanced 12-bit analog-to-digital converter architecture. Operating at full resolution across all sample rates, the system provides sixteen times greater vertical resolution than traditional 8-bit oscilloscopes. Combined with HD mode offering up to 18-bit effective resolution and industry-leading 10-bit ENOB performance, engineers can accurately analyse low-level signal behaviour, power rail ripple, jitter, transient disturbances, and signal integrity issues that would otherwise remain hidden.

The oscilloscope supports sampling rates up to 5 GSa/s and provides an industry-leading 500 Mpoints acquisition memory per channel as standard across all eight channels simultaneously. Optional memory expansion increases recording capacity to 1 Gpoint for demanding applications involving long-duration captures, protocol analysis, embedded system validation, FPGA debugging, and high-speed serial communications.

A defining feature of the MXO 5 platform is its acquisition performance. The MXO58-2000 captures more than 4.5 million waveforms per second while simultaneously supporting spectrum analysis rates exceeding 50,000 FFT calculations per second. This dramatically improves the probability of detecting rare glitches, intermittent faults, timing violations, protocol anomalies, and sporadic disturbances.

The MXO58 introduces advanced multispectral analysis capability, supporting up to four simultaneous spectrum displays with independent frequency-domain and time-domain controls. Engineers can analyse RF activity, EMI emissions, harmonics, switching power supplies, clock systems, and mixed-domain interactions without requiring a dedicated spectrum analyzer.

Advanced digital triggering provides trigger sensitivity down to 0.0001 divisions, significantly improving detection of small anomalies in the presence of large signals. Zone triggering is supported across analogue, spectrum, and mathematical measurements, enabling highly selective event capture in complex systems.

The large 15.6-inch Full HD capacitive touchscreen provides extensive workspace for simultaneous viewing of eight analogue channels, protocol decodes, FFT measurements, automated measurements, and spectrum displays. The platform supports optional 16-channel logic analysis, arbitrary waveform generation, protocol decoding, power analysis, frequency response analysis, automotive Ethernet analysis, and aerospace communication protocol support.
